To Reopen a Financial Period in Cash Management

To Reopen a Financial Period in Cash Management

  1. Open the Close Financial Periods (CA506000) form.
  2. In the Company box of the Selection area, select the company for which you want to reopen a financial period.

    This box appears on the form if your organization does not use centralized management of financial periods—that is, if the Centralized Period Management feature is disabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

  3. In the Action box, select Reopen.
    Note: If the Restrict Access to Closed Periods check box is selected on the General Ledger Preferences (GL102000) form, this action is available to only users assigned to the Financial Supervisor role.
  4. In the From Year box, select the year in which you want to reopen the financial period.
  5. Select the unlabeled check box in the row of the earliest period you want to reopen. The periods following this period will be selected automatically.
  6. Click Process on the form toolbar.
